I jumped the gun the other day. Raymond has submitted a quiz for us. And boy, is it a doozy! I’ve been laughing (and groaning) for half an hour as I read through it. I put it up here on a separate thread because it may get lost in the other thread.

There are eleven categories of questions. Here is an example of the questions and answers:
A – FELINE
1. Name some composers with feline tendencies. Answer: Kat-chaturian, Milhaud (pronounced “meeoh”), De Pussy, etc….there are more.

E – COLDS
1. What composers have colds? Answer: Tchai-cough-ski.

So now you get the picture. Get that creative mind turned on full blast and see if you can come with more answers. I have all the answers, so will not play, but I’ll help Raymond run this if he wants and put up answers as we go along.

Someone else care to try to explain to her that the hint was related to time and that the SECOND son of Bach was CPE Bach, the most famous of the bach sons. 60 seconds in a minute, there is the time relation.
